    Default Candcnc vicon retrofit

    I got a 5x10 vicon plasma table that I'm upgrading the controls on to a mp3700 from candcnc. Still waiting on some parts from them but trying to figure out what I can. I'll admit I'm no expert on electronics and the documentation available for the controls is very lacking compared to the other conversions I've done (centroid on a router table and on a lathe). Anyway on to my first question, my table is set up with NPN N.O. proximity switches for the limits and home positioning. I've been digging for a couple of days now and still don't understand 100% how they work and how to hook them up. I started a wiring diagram on what I think works from what I've figured out but looking for confirmation from people smarter than me with this stuff. What I can't tell is am I going to have a problem with conflicting voltages with what the I/O board runs (I can't find in the documentation what voltage it is) and the 24v the sensor wants? Or am I totally wrong on how I plan on Wiring it?

    They may be a proximity style sensor. You can always go to a simple closed contact microswitch. Or if you read the manual there is a section on proximity sensor wiring. MP3700 is a great system.
